Hard, hit. Not a roller or a shaker. One GIANT hit.

It was really close. Scared the hell out of me!

The initial jolts got our attention, then it popped.. nice, the last one I was walking between the patio and the side door.

Knocked stuff off a kitchen shelf. Really odd. Not one chandelier was swaying but Knick knacks on the kitchen floor.

(9,898 posts)10. The initials especially close are compression waves, up and down not side to side.
It bounces stuff. You were pretty much on top of it. We just had a good well defined event.
Scottie Mom
(5,812 posts)12. Thanks. That explains what we saw.
Makes sense that things bounced off the shelves, but that the chandeliers were not swaying.

Hoped wed get out of this one with just a few rattled nerves.
